The demon returns disguised as the girls mum, the monkey beats the hell out of the girl's mum. The demon returns disguised as the girl's dad, the monkey beats the hell out of the girl's dad. The monk thinks the monkey attacked innocent people and dispels the monkey. Without the monkey's eye for evil the demon captures the monk. Realizing his mistake the monk orders the pig (pigsy) to bring back the monkey. The monkey comes back and beats the hell out of the demon. The demon dies, the monk forgives the monkey, the monkey accepts the monk's apology and they continue on their travels.

Gao's Family Compound

Located at the Moslem Street, Xian, Gao's Compound is a private dwelling built over four hundred years ago. Gao Yuesong, the owner of the house, won the second place in the imperial exams during the reign of the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.). As a reward, this dwelling was awarded to him.

Gao's Compound is a typically courtyard featuring its delicate carved brickwork and wood carvings. Today, it has become a popular tourist attraction. There tourists can also enjoy drinking tea and watching puppet shows.

Huayin Lao Qiang - Guanzhong Folk Song

Every region in China has its own style of music, theater, and shadow puppetry. In Shaanxi Province, the area around Mt. Hua gave birth to Huayin Lao Qiang, a tradition of rousing, rhythmic, lusty folk singing and narration dubbed ancient Chinese rock'n roll. Local lore has it that Lao Qiang (Old Tune) descended from the chanties of boatmen working the Yellow River and Wei Canal 2,000 years ago, transporting grain from the Imperial Granary to the Western Han capital of Chang'an.

In China there's a great push now to revive traditional folk arts and bring them into the 21st century. Huayin Lao Qiang is one of many art forms under protection of the Ministry of Culture. In 2008, Wang Zhenzhong (in the video clip above) and Zhang Ximin (in the photos below) were chosen as official representative inheritors to teach, develop, and spread Lao Qiang as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

To keep up with the times, Lao Qiang has been pulled out from behind the screen and recreated on stage. In live stage performances of Lao Qiang “original folk music”, musicians dressed in peasant costume sing rousing choruses written for this new style of performance. Extras crouch on the side smoking long-stemmed pipes and slurp noodles from large ceramic bowls. Since 2005, with the debut of the play White Deer Plain, Lao Qiang original folk music has caught on, with groups appearing at major events and on national TV.

Zhang Ximin is a 10th generation Lao Qiang artist. Two of his students - 11th generation Zhang Xiangling (of the shadow puppet troupe) and his grandson Zhang Meng - were on hand for group practice and dress rehearsal at the Zhang home in Shuangquan Village.

Shadow Playground | Johnson's Baby | BBDO Guerrero

BBDO Guerrero launched an on-ground activation called the Shadow Playground to introduce Johnson’s Baby Active Fresh Powder, a new product that has sweat-activated fragrance, and also available in Bath format.

This was borne out of the observation that children have a natural fascination for shadows. Shadows behave in a unique way, as if they have a life of their own. They could help children understand the world around them and even themselves. But because children play outdoors less these days, they sometimes miss out on exploring this phenomenon. So Shadow Playground was designed to help create these important moments of discovery.

The Shadow Playground consists of five fun games that make use of the sun to cast shadow children can play with. With every movement of the sun, the game changes. And each game teaches children skills for their development.

It also advocates for playtime among mothers and kids, encouraging mothers to enable a child to discover, learn and enjoy during active physical activity.

--------

BBDO Guerrero was the first Philippine agency ever to be ranked among the world's top 50 agencies in the Gunn Report”. It was the most awarded Philippine agency at the 2014 Cannes Lion Festival and won the nation’s first ever CyberLion. Recently, its DOT campaign “It’s more fun in the Philippines” was judged 3rd best in the world and 1st in Asia in the global WARC report.

This agency is internationally recognized for integrated communications solutions, with powerful and persuasive content created across a variety of media and touch points. Proximity is a division at BBDO Guerrero that specializes in digital and direct response marketing.
